Small-item storage

9.0

Cabin storage is good however not stellar. The forward center console bin is ideal for concealing items but includes a hard, slippery floor, so that they slide around noisily. The console bin at your elbow is a decent size, and you will find modest door pockets in the leading and rear that are good for small water bottles only.

Cargo space

8.0

The 2020 BMW 3 Series includes a large trunk, and the 60/40-split folding back seat with trunk-mounted release handles allow it to be an easy task to expand the space. Loading groceries or luggage is helped out by the wide opening and a low liftover height.

Child safety seat accommodation

8.0

It’s super easy to mount an automobile seat, with obvious and easy to get at lower anchors and package tray-mounted tether point, both under plastic covers. There’s enough room so your front seat do not need to be scooted completely forward.
